FBI official definition changed

I saw an article on Facebook stating that the FBI has changed their official definition of rape to include male and transgendered people. Here is the link: http://feministing.com/2011/10/20/up...ition-of-rape/ I hope and pray that this is correct.

Thanks for posting this. Wow, I didn't know that before this change the FBI didn't officially count rape against males or trans people as rape. Interesting, and good to see this change come about.
